Second: in Reddish, the footpath-only section of Arthur Street is proposed to be made shared use and the lighting columns moved out of the path, increasing permeability for neighbouring streets.

Deadline also 14 December.

The Peak Forest Canal closure at Turf Lea/Strines just now.

No warning whatsoever from further back until you are right at the bridge at either end. From the Disley side that’s a very lengthy turn back if cycling, having to use part of the A6 and some very hilly rat runs.

Well said @walkridestocky.bsky.social - here’s evidence from #Edinburgh.

It’s the standard change curve.

Like every city, despite vocal opposition, this multi-year study of an #Edinburgh street and cycling scheme shows massive benefits and increasing public and local business support.

Every city that delivers schemes well helps deliver social and economic benefits.

We need more #StreetsNOTRoads!

Any roadworks cause disruption, and it's a fair challenge that the council isn't always good at communicating when work is going to happen. But as a way to make it safer and easier to get around places without a car, it's totally necessary. More journeys on foot or bike mean fewer cars on the roads.

The work on Compstall Road is happening to safely link the quieter roads either side of the busy main road. Confident road cyclists such as those interviewed in the article might not see the use - but it's not intended for them.

As well as providing a route between Romiley and Stockport, it will link homes to nearby schools. The school run is a major source of congestion, so by providing safe non-car routes we're addressing that while making kids healthier and better prepared for lessons.
